Cardinals vs. Dodgers: Under 9 total runs (-120)
The Cardinals are starting Michael McGreevy, who has a 3.86 ERA this season and allowed three runs or fewer in four of his five starts in August. The Dodgers have gone Under this total in four straight games, with those contests averaging 3.5 total runs per game. Each of the Cardinals' last three games totaled nine runs or fewer. The Under is 75-62 in Dodgers games and 71-59-8 in Cardinals games this season. The model projects the Under to hit in 57.3% of simulations.

Yankees (-186) to defeat Angels
"Gerrit Cole, who owns a 1.96 ERA over his last six starts, faces an Angels team that's 26th in hitting off right-handers and 28th in hitting at home over the last two weeks, and has eclipsed three runs once in the last nine games," SportsLine expert Adam Thompson said. "Angels RHP Grayson Rodriguez has been better of late, but he still has a 7.79 ERA in nine home starts. New York's offense put up 25 runs in its last two games vs. Boston."

Texas State vs. Texas: Under 59.5 total points (-112) on Saturday
"The Longhorns host the Bobcats one week before one of the biggest games of the season: No. 1 Ohio State at No. 5 Texas on Sept. 12," SportsLine expert Gene Menez said. "With that enormous matchup looming, the Longhorns, who already are dealing with all-America left tackle Trevor Goosby's bone bruise in his left knee, will emphasize two things against Texas State once the outcome of the game is no longer in doubt: 1) getting out of it healthy and 2) getting it over. Texas also has loads of depth on defense, especially on the line and off the edge, so the Bobcats aren't likely to get any cheap garbage-time scores."
